Trapped in a tower by the emperor who conquered her homeland, Daella yearns for an escape. But as one of the few half-orcs left in the world, she knows she’ll never be free, much less find her own happily ever after.

Destiny takes an unexpected turn when the emperor offers her a deal. To earn her freedom, she must journey to the mysterious Isles of Fable and track down wielders of outlawed dragon magic. Eager to seize her chance, Daella agrees.

When a brutal storm tosses her ship off course, she washes up on the wrong island—right at the feet of Rivelin, a gruff but handsome elven blacksmith, who seems more likely to stab her than help her. To her surprise, he offers her shelter until the next ship passes through in six weeks’ time.

Daella soon realizes he’s hiding something big. It could be the very magic she’s been tasked to hunt down—the key to her long-awaited freedom. But as they bicker over the flames of his forge, her heart kindles with something she’s never felt before.

When his secrets finally come to light, Daella must decide what’s more important: her freedom from the wicked crown or the desires of her heart.

My thoughts on Forged by Magic by Jenna Wolfhart

I finished this book so quick and loved the interactions between Daella and Rivelin. I definitely think this book would cure your book hangover after Fourth Wing like it did for me. This book has the cosy vibes I love as well as romance and dragons- can’t go wrong at all.

Daella and Rivelin were charming and I loved seeing how their relationship changed and their trust in each other grew. I can’t wait to read more books in this series.
